11.2. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS ARE AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES, AND THAT IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH LIMITATIONS, THE FEES AND OTHER TERMS SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT WOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT.
12. GENERAL.
12.1. Governing Law. The Agreement shall be exclusively governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
12.2. Arbitration Requirement: Unless prohibited by law, all disputes arising out of or relating in any way to: i) these Uber Health Terms, ii) the Services, or iii) advertisements, promotions or oral or written statements related ot the Services, will be finally and conclusively adjudicated and resolved by arbitration under the Arbitration Rules (“ADRIC Rules”) of the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. (“ADRIC”), except as modified here. The arbitration will be in English or French as you choose. The arbitration may be held anywhere the arbitrator considers appropriate, including remotely by telephone or internet. The ADRIC Rules are available by, for example, searching www.google.ca to locate “ADRIC Arbitration Rules” or by clicking here. You can also contact ADRIC at 1-877-475-4353 or www.adric.ca. You will have to pay some fees to arbitrate, as described in the ADRIC Rules. However, before beginning the arbitration, the party with the claim will first try to informally negotiate with the other party, in good faith, a resolution of the dispute for not less than 30 days but no more than 45 days unless extended by agreement. During the negotiation period, any otherwise applicable limitation period will be tolled (temporarily suspended). Nothing here prevents you from filing a claim with a government agency. Where you allege claims of sexual assault or sexual harassment, you may choose to bring those specific claims in court instead of arbitration. Uber Rasier Canada Inc. agrees to honour your choice of forum with respect to your individual sexual harassment or sexual assault claim but in doing so Uber Rasier Canada Inc. does not waive the enforceability of any other part of this section 12. This arbitration requirement survives: (i) the termination of this Agreement and (ii) the bankruptcy of any party. If any part of it is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the other parts remain in force. Where mandatory arbitration is prohibited by law, any action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement will be instituted in the courts of the Province of Ontario located in the City of Toronto, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such action or proceeding.
12.3. Health Care Programs. For purposes of Uber Health’s compliance program, Company will notify Uber Health in writing: (a) if it is a government or quasi-government entity, or otherwise owned, controlled by, or created by a government entity, or (b) if it intends to seek reimbursement from any provincial or federal healthcare program for the Health Products or otherwise use any provincial or federal funds to meet its payment obligations under this Agreement (each a “Program”). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, nothing in this Agreement is intended to subject Uber Health or its Affiliates to any statutory or regulatory requirements or obligations that are not specifically referenced in the Agreement or that would otherwise apply to a provider, supplier, or other entity participating in a Program.
12.4. Affiliates. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Company and each of its Affiliates may utilize the same Admin Portal and any of the services provided under a Product Addendum upon acceptance of these Terms and the applicable Product Addendum. Any such Affiliate shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions applicable to Company under the Agreement, and entitled to all rights and protections afforded Company under the Agreement, provided, however, Company shall continue to bear legal responsibility for all acts or omissions of such Affiliate. The parties further acknowledge and agree that any services to be rendered under this Agreement and any applicable Product Addendum may be performed by Uber Health directly, or by any of Uber’s Affiliates.
12.5. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to the parties under this Agreement will be deemed to have been duly given only if in writing and delivered: by certified mail with return receipt requested, by overnight courier with postage prepaid, or by hand delivery, to the address of the receiving party as set forth below, to the attention of the persons designated below for the receiving party. Notices will be deemed received five (5) business days after being mailed or the next business day if delivery is via overnight courier, or the same business day if delivery is by hand delivery during a business day before 5:00 PM local time or the next business day if not during a business day before 5:00 PM. All notices to Company shall be delivered to the address provided during account setup or the email address of the admin account on file. Notices to Uber Rasier Canada Inc. should be provided to 121 Bloor Street E., Suite 1600, Toronto, ON M4W 3M5, Attn: Legal, with a copy to transactionslegalnotices@uber.com. Either party may change its notice address by providing written notice of such change to the other party in conformity with this section.
12.6. Force Majeure. Nonperformance of either party under the Agreement shall be excused to the extent and during the period that performance is rendered impossible by strike, fire, flood, hurricane, earthquakes, other natural disaster, governmental acts or orders or restrictions, failure of suppliers, or contractors, or any other reason where failure to perform is beyond the reasonable control and not caused by the negligence of the non-performing party (“Force Majeure Event”). The affected party will promptly notify the other party upon becoming aware that any Force Majeure Event has occurred or is likely to occur and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any resulting delay in or interference with the performance of its obligations under the Agreement.
12.7. Severability, Assignment and other Miscellaneous Terms. If any provision or provisions of the Agreement, in whole or in part, is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by ruling of an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions and/or Product Addenda shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Agreement is not transferable and may not be assigned by either party, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other party, provided that both parties may assign the Agreement without such consent, but with notice to the other, in connection with a merger or a sale of all of the equity or assets of either party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Uber Health may assign the Agreement to an Affiliate without notice or the prior written consent of Company. Subject to the foregoing, the Agreement shall be binding upon all successors and assigns of a party. Section headings are for convenience only and shall not be considered in the interpretation of the Agreement. Uber Health and Company are and shall remain independent contractors. Neither party is the representative or agent of the other and neither party shall have any power to assume any obligations on behalf of the other. The failure of either party to enforce, at any time or for any period of time, the provisions hereof, or the failure of either party to exercise any option herein, shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision or option and shall in no way affect that party’s right to enforce such provisions or exercise such option.
12.8. Non-Discrimination. Company shall not, in its use of the Uber Service or any Health Product under the Agreement, discriminate against any Company User, employee, volunteer, participant, or individual on the basis of race, colour, gender, pregnancy, marital status, familial status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, or age or other protected grounds except that programs may target beneficial services for specific participant groups, as agreed upon between Uber Health and Company.
